Weird day. I took my son, his two friends and my dad to Branson, MO, to go to Silver Dollar City (amusement park). Since my car only seats 4, we took my dad's car, and I left my Element on the curb in front of my dad's, like I had a million times before.
It wasn't until we got to Branson that we found out SDC doesn't open on Wednesdays until NEXT week! We had free passes for everyone, so I ended up springing for the boys to go to Ripley's instead, and play putt putt, so I ended up spending a LOT of money.
We came home early, of course, but not before my dad's wife got home from work. She noticed the wreck right away. The neighbors came piling out of the house when she got home and explaine thus:
The across-the-street neighbor apparently got in an altercation with a door-to-door salesman. I don't know why, but the neighbor tried to run the guy over with his car, and in the process sideswiped MY car! The neighbors also said this neighbor spent an hour screaming at the gas company service man in the front yard the day before. He's a whack job. Says he has insurance, but the cop who took the report was off by the time we got there and I still have not heard from him.
The estimate is $2,000.
I'll stop wrecking the Awesome Thread with the non-awesome, now.
